PARIS, Juwir 22.—The following is the first part of the offi cial pieces relative to Portugal, which the Moniteur has thought proper to publish to-day. It will be oblerved that the most im portant, the Constitutional Charter, is wanting ; let us hope that it will soon come out of the Ministerial portfolio; or that it will come to us through the English or American papers. His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil has issued the following de crees :-- I.—lt being equally suitable to the good of the Portuguese Monarchy, and to the respect due to the Royal decrees, that the Regency created by the decree of my august father, Don John VI. of glorious memory, dated the Gth of March of this year, be con tinued, I think fit to confirm the said Regency, which shall con tinue to govern till the installation of that which I shall name in the constitutional charter of the Portuguese Monarchy which I shall immediately grant: the said. Regency will continue to exe cute this decree. Palace of Rio de Janeiro, 26th April, 1826. Signed by his Majesty as King of Portugal. ll.—Desiring to mark my reign in the Portuguese history by showing my principles of humanity, and by exercising one of the noblest attributes of Royalty, I think fit to grant an amnesty to all Portuguese who are imprisoned, brought to trial, banished, or prosecuted for their political opinions, up to the date of my Royal Decree; pardoning also all crimes of desertion, whether simple or complex, as well as all criminals condemned to three years' hard labour, banishment, or imprisonment in the kingdom and out of it, as well as those who shall be under such circum stances, and have still three years before the completion of their Panishment, whatever may be their crimes. The Regency of the Kingdom will see to the execution of the above, despatching the necessary orders to the competent authorities. Palace) . of Rio ds Janeiro, 27th April, 1826. With the signature of his Majesty as King of Portugal. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning ii minutes after 7. Evening 33 minutes after 7. ACT. OF. ABDICATION. Don Pedro, by the grace of God, King of Portugal and the Algarve. beyond sea in Africa, Lord of Guinea, of the Conquest, Navigation, and Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and kc. &c. do make known, to all my Portuguese subjects, that it being incompatible with the interests of the empire of Brasil, and to that of the kingdom of Portugal, that I should continue to be Kiug of Portugal and the Algarve:, and their dominion:, and desiring, by all the means in my power, to render those States happy, I think fit, of my own accord, and by own Will, to abdicate and cede all the indisputable and incontestable rights which I have to the crown of the Portuguese Monarchy, arid to the Sovereignty of those kingdoms, to my beloved, esteem :4l, and dear daughter, the Princess of Grand Para, on Maria da Gloria, in order that as reigning Queen she may govern them _ independently of this empire, and by the Constitution which thought fit to decree, grant, and cause to be sworn to, by my Carta de Lei, of the 23d April, of this year; and I am farther pleased to declare, that my said daughter, the reigning Queen of Portugal, shall not leave the empire of Brazil, till I am officially informed that the oath shall have been taken to the constitution conformably to what I have ordered, and before the ceremony of be trothing, preparatory to the union which I intend she shall con tract with my most beloved anti esteemed brother, the Infant Don Miguel, shall have taken place, and till the marriage has been concluded. And my abdication and cession shall not be carried into effect if either of these two conditions is not per formed. For these reasons, I order all the Authorities who have a right to be made acquainted with my present Carta de Lei to cause it to be published, in order that my present determination may be known to my Portuguese subjects. I order the Regency O f my said kingdom to have it printed and published in the most authentic manner, that its contents may be actively executed ; and it shall have the same force as an ordinance passed in Chancery, though it be not so, on account of a contrary ordinance that it, /hall not b e pas s ed th ere , f r om which I have thought fit, for ta il purpose, to deviate, though it remains in vigour, notwith standing the Want of the countersign, and other usual formalities, with which I am also pleased to dispense. Given at the Palace at Rio de Janeiro, the 2d May, the year of o ur Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six. (Signed) THE KING. (EXTRACT UP A PRIVATE LETTER.) LisaoN, Juitz 3.—lt must be recollected that King John VI. 'died on the evening of the 10th of Match last, and that the first 'Buse which sailed from Lisbon to carry this melancholy news to Rio de Janeiro, to the Emperor Don Pedro his son, could not sail Lod quit the Tagus till the lath of the same month. I wrote to you at that time, that in this interval Sir W. keourt, who has constantly exercised the greatest influence over the counsels of our cabinet, had had long and frequent conferences with the regency. The object of those conferences was involved in profound secrecy. The desire, or rather the necessity, of calm ing a lively and alarming uneasiness, which appeared among the public within these few days, had induced the Regency to give some explanation. By this means it has become known that, in consequence of the representations of the British Ambassador, the Council of Regency had sent by the above-mentioned ship a respectful, but energetic, memorial to Don Pedro, to endeavour to convince him that it was imperiously necessary, in order to prevent troubles, quickly•to determine his choice between the Imperial Crown of Brazil and the Royal Crown of portugal and Algarve. This serious point shows the true motives of the reserve, and the hesitation manifested by the Regency in proclaiming the successor to the Throne at the death of King John VI. It was known, besides, that the Ambassadors of the Powers which had shown last year the greatest dissatisfaction at the re eognition of the American Republics by England would have made the greatest efforts at the Court of Rio de Janeiro to induce the Emperor to defer his intentions, to gain time, and endeavour to retain both Crowns, the union of which, disconcerting the Projects of the Cabinet of St. James's, would second the views of the Holy Alliance, and the partisans of the state quo. 'The best . informed persons think that Don Pedro will choose in preference the empire of Brazil, and in this case his eldest daughter would be placed on the throne of Portugal, as I gave you to un derstand at a time when all the journals of Europe appeared to believe that in spite of the treaty of the 26th of August, 1825, th e Emperor of Brazil would retain also the crown of Portugal. Wrote to you at that time—. '" It is affirmed that the Commissioners of the Emperor Don Petlro'and Sir Charles Stuart have agreed on an addition to the treaty, of independence, and that it then laid d own as a rule that tilt crowns of Brazil and Portugal should be separated for ever frOta each other, and consequently that they shall never, in any tale, or under any title or pretext, be united on the same head." of " The elde s t d au gh ter o f th e Emperor Don Pedro i s s i x years The immediate convocation of a Council of Regency *Quid prevent the unce r t a i n ti es and the troubles of an inter. t elOntm. " - Article 5 of the fundamental law of 1139 and 1641 * Our correspondent was not deceived in his conjectures, since ntvrs has been received at Paris that Don Pedro has renounced th e Crown of Portugal in favour of his eldest daughter, who is to 4, trry her uncle Don Miguel.—Nore of the Editor of the Cm.. SG, .• LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1826. We received the French Papers of the 23d instant, from which extracts will be found in another column. It appears that the Emperor of BRAZIL has officially confirmed the statement given by us some days ago, relative to the abdication of the Crown of Portugal by his Imperial MAJESTY. He has published three de• trees in furtherance of this important business. The first decree, dated Rio Janeiro, 26th of April, confirms the Regency appointed by the will of his father, JOHN ; the second, dated the 27th of April, grants a Ike pardon for political offences committed by any of the Portuguese, previous to the date of the decree ; and the third, dated the 2d of May, contains the Abdication of the Crown of Portugal, • in favour of DONNA MARIA the Emperor's daughter, but this abdication is to be consequent upon her marrying DON MiGuEr., her uncle, and the acceptance of the Con stitutional Charter by the Portuguese people. It_ would appear th a t th e F renc h Government have re ceived a copy of this Charter, and some of the French Journals infer from its not • being published, that it is founded upon too liberal principles. Be this as it may, we cannot withhold our approbation from DDX PEDRO, for his wise and pOlitic decision in making Portugal independent of Brazil. A different line of conduct might have' endangered his power in both, without conferring any benefit on either nation. By this arrangement, DON MIGUEL will attain that object, in a peaceful manner, which his mother had been so often endeavouring to compass by stratagem—not to say rebellion. Frankfort Papers to the 19th instant reached us this morning, from which we make the following extracts, having no room for remark : BERLIN, JUNE 14. The arrival of Count Araktscliejeff at Berlin appears to confirm the reports previously in circulation of an approaching change of Ministry in Russia ; but it is now believed that the new nomina tions will not be made known till after the coronation of the Em peror Nicholas. Count Araktschejeff is not expected to make any long stay in this capital ; after visiting the baths in Germany, he will go to Italy. It has been observed, that Count Alopeas, the Russian Arnhem sador at this Court, has shown this distinguished traveller all the attention due to a person of his high rank. The subscription for the Greeks proceeds in the most favour able manner, not only in the capital, but in the other cities of the kingdom. A rough estimate of the gross amount of the sums subscribed for this religious and humane object has been made ; ' according to which the whole, up to the Ist June, may amount to about 210,000 Prussian dollars (80,0001.). FIRANICTORT, Jtlllit 16. The society formed here for relieving German, soldiers, disabled in the battle of Waterloo, has given notice, that on this day, as the anniversary of the memorable event, it will distribute the sums of 560 florins, or 320 Pruesian dollars, to 16 invalids, each of whom will receive 20 dollars. His Serene Highness, the Duke of Nassau, passed through hlayence, on the 16th, on his return from Switzerland toßiberuk. Pruasnua,G, Mar 25 .—His Majesty the Emperor, by an Ukase, dated Zarekojeselo , M a y 13, was pleased to grant a pen sion of 50,000 rubles per annum to the celebrated Historian Ka ramsin, on occasion of his intended journey to visit the Baths in Germany, for his health. His Majesty most graciously secured the whole of the pension, after his death, to his wife, and after her death to his children, namely, to his sons till they shall he placed in the public service, and to his daughters till the marriage of the last of them. This proof of the favour of his Sovereign served only to cheer the last moments of the life of this eminent writer, whose merit is justly appreciated in Germany as well as his own country.

After further endeavouring, at Oat length, to im press the Porte with the necessity of coming , to a final adjustment of all the questions which have so long divided the two parties, the Note proceeds to the three points laid down as the Ultimatum of the Russian Cabinet, namely, thp replacing the principalities pre cisely in the same state as they were previously to the troubles in I 821, the release of the Servian Deputies, and the sending of Com missioners to the frontiers with full powers to negotiate with Com missioners from Russia. His Imperial Majesty says, M. de Min ziacky, in conclusion, :night have considered the negotiations as ended, after the result of the conference of 13th October, 1825, and have employed the most efficacious means to cause his rights and his treaties to be respected, ,But on this important occasion, his Imperial Majesty has rather liettned to his pae.ifie inclination and his moderation, and considers itas indisputable that in expressing to the Porte his desire to see all cause for the complaints of Russia re moved, was to destroy even the germ of a further discussion. Hir Im perial Majesty, at the wile time, gives the Sultan the strongest proof of friendship that is in his power, and the best founded motives for confidence and security. Finally, M. de Minziacky announces, that if all these conditions are not really complied with in six weeks, he is to leave Constantinople.—(Not the most distant allusion is made to Greece throughout this long Note. Some of our contemporaries having expressed doubts as to the authenticity of Lord COCIfRANE'S cele brated letter to the PACHA of Egypt, we are enabled to state from the most unquestionable authority, that the letter is perfectly genuine. The friends of freedom and humanity will be gratified to learn that the gallant Admiral has a powerful supply •of ships and other means for the accomplishment of the deli verance of the suffering GREEKS from the ty ranny of their barbarous and relentless oppressors. We are in possession of more info mation on this in teresting subject than we deem it prudent at present to disclose ; but there can be little doubt of the triumph of Grecian Independence under the enter prising direction of the conquering COCHRANE. A Sunday Paper which hankers after an oppor tunity of venting its spleen against persons in authority, has taken advantage of a partial report of the pro ceedings in the case of Bligh v. Wellesley, in the Common Pleas, during the last Term, to insinuate that Chief Justice BEST had been corruptly influenced, through family esteem for the defendant, to defer the trial, in order that the defendant might get rid of the action, by the death of the plaintiff, who happens to be in a precarious state of health, &c. Now the facts, were these:—it appeared to all the Judges, that the Defendant had made out sufficient grounds to have the trial put off; and Lord Chief Justice BEST made it the sine qua non of his consent, that the action should not abate nor suffer any prejudice by the death of the Plaintiff, but should be considered in all respects as if it had taken place the first sittings after Term ; that the marriage should be admitted, and that the depositions of witnesses who were likely to leave the country, or die, might be taken in writing by commis sion—so much for the foundation of the virulent charge of the Examiner•. We are often called on to censure articles which appear in the Times ; hut it affords us much more pleasure to follow an opposite course, when we can do so with propriety. In its leading article of to-day, which we give in another part of our Paper, there is a very handsome tribute paid to the Home Secretary. This, coming from a political opponent, cannot fail to be gratifying to the Right Hon. Gentleman, and indeed to all admirers of manly conduct. As to the unhappy...all:m.lls Carlisle; •we do not envy the feelings of any one who has not done his best to.prevent the , effintiOn'or pittinati'Mod'; I:it, at this distance from `the spot, •it is very difficult to fix the blame on the proper. individual / and surely is most uncharitable to do so at a venture. It is a sad, but a well known fact, that on occasions of Riot, the guilty often escape, whilst the innocent but incau tious spectator, pays the penalty of life, for being in the company of persons who are trangressing against the laws of the land. We quite agree with the Times, in feeling confident, that if any persons have acted improperly, the case will be thoroughly in. vestigated. The turbulence of Election, like expended thunder, begins now to die away in the distance. The broil ing at Preston will finish this day, when COBBETT will complete the last of his prophecies, as truly as he predicted the downfall• of the nation, because his regis ter decreased in circulation. The great struggle is now confined to Westmorland and Northumberland, where extraordinary exertions are made by the re , spective parties. A f u ll report will be found in our election columns. Accounts from Trieste state, that Col. FABVIEIL has been at, tacked by the Turks at Jasca, where he defended himself with the greatest bravery, but at length was obliged to retreat. It i■ stated in accounts from Vera Crux, that the .Nymph, French frigate, had arrived them, having on board a French Con sul to the Mexican Government, charged to negociate a treaty of commerce.

In the afternoon, shortly before three o'clock, his Majesty left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Lord Steward, followed in a second by Lord Graves, and drove down the Long Walk to the Castle, His Majesty was met in the Quadrangle by Mr. Wyatville, but did not alight from his phaeton ; and after a shorter stay than usual he left through the Little Park, and by Frogmore, for a continuation of his drive, esterday his Majesty took his usual excursion on the Lake of Virginia Water,'and after dining in the Royal Boat, at five o'clock, his Majesty drove to New Lodge, and Cranbourne, in his pony phaeton. The Band of the Life Guards are expected to add to the gaiety of the Terrace this evening, in unison with the performing of the 63d Regiment, and the Terrace is expected to be well attended. Windsor was never known to be so much crowded with elegant visitors as it is at present, excepting on great State occasions, We are happy to state that the Duke of York was so much better on Saturday, as to be able to leave his house in South Audley-street soon after four o'clock, for Mr. Greenwood's Villa at Brompton, Mr. G. hav ing accommodated his Royal Highness with the loan of it for the enjoyment of the change of air. Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, and the Princess Sophia, visited their Royal Brother. Yesterday morning the Princess Augusta attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. On Friday a Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held at the Treasury Office, Whitehall. Mr. Braham is engaged to sing at the Grand Musi cal Festival, at Gloucester, in September. Mr. Morrison has declined becoming a candidate for the Aldermanship of Aldersgate Ward. Mr. H. Sumner red herrings were too much smoked to suit the palates of the Surrey electors. A bUst of M.

A fine sturgeon, measuring eight feet six inches, and weighing above two hundred weight, was brought before the Lord Mayor, yesterday morning, by Nel son, the water-bailiff. It wav caught above the Kennington Lock, by getting through the bar. The Lord Mayor sent it to his Majesty, with orders to have the usual ceremony observed. It is the largest. that has been caught for more than thirty-six years. It is rumoured that we are likely to lose Madame Pasta and Signor Curioni after the present season. The manager of the principal Italian Theatres at Milan, Naples, and Vienna, is now in London, and ' in treaty with those performers for his various esta blishments. We should hope that no small tempta tion will make them forget that something is due to this country for the support which they have met with from all ranks of the English people. BLUNDER UPON BLUNDER.—in a debate upon the Leather Tax, in the Irish• House of Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequetobserved, that in the pro secution of the war, every man ought to give his /list guinea to protect the remainder. Mr. Vandelure said, " however that might be., the tax on leather would be severely felt by the bare footed peasantry of Ireland ;" to which Sir Boyle Roach replied, " that this could be remedied, by making the under leather of wood." From some memoirs of Voltaire, by two of his Se cretaries, which have lately been published, it appears that the King of Prussia once entertained the singular idea of making Voltaire his Charo d'Affaires at Rome. Why this plan of bringing the Patriarch of the Freethinkers and the head of the Catholic Church in personal contact was dropped, does not appear. The tolerant Clement XIV. had, however, some com munications with the philosopher, which were far from being of a hostile nature. An English gentleman rising through Feeney,' on his way to Borne, asked oltaire whether he had any commands for that city. " Bring me," said the latter, " the ears of the Grand Inquisitor, wrapped in a sheet of music." On hearing of this request, the Pope desired the English gentle man to tell Voltaire " that he found it impossible to execute his commission, as the Grand Inquisitor had no longer either eyes or ears." LOVE AND CHAMPAGNE; MATRIMONIAL MAR QUERADING.—A young lady, the daughter of a hi g hly respectable tradesman, residing in St. James's street, who attended Charles Wright's last Masque rade, at the Argyll Rooms, in the character of a flower girl, so captivated the Hon.

The supply of the past week is moderate, except of Oitts, the quantity of which is large, chiefly from Ireland and Scotland. This morning the arrivals of Wheat is good, but of other Grain inconsiderable. The prospect of a good crop of Wheat has thrown a damp on the market, and the millers are so slack in purchasing, that a trifling decline must be noted from the terms of last Mon day. In Barley nothing doing. Beans and Pease remain as last quoted. Notwithstanding the reports of injury to the Spring Corn from the dry weather, the trade for Oats is extremely dull, and few sales can be made, though we do not - . note any decline. Flour remains as last quoted. ASXIVALO Or LA6IT WESIC. I 1 Whe O at. Barley. ra rs. h - . a. Barry Q ti ., 5 ,.. i.b... 4,34* TOO - Foreign,. 7,629 Oat.. Beano. rim... Flour. Qrs, Qrs. Qrs.
